I assume I don't have to tell you, but for the benefits of others:

In general, there is only one copy of anything in a system with packages, so
the unit's code and const parts (rtti/vmts) and its state
(variables) only exist once.  Both from RTL and user parts.

And there already is much more crucial global state (locale,
exception/synchronize system, unicode codepage stuff in trunk etc) than just
memory manager.
